FFXIV 2.0 Random Speculation/Question Thread XII: End Of An Era - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!

[Aratharn]

Mosshorn parses: where men separate themselves from boys.

Also, his gear can be forgiven for that awesome comment in pt chat.

[solracht]

The random fail is bringing 7 people to kill Elder Mosshorn. /ffxi

[Fondue]

Not even swimsuit undergarments, may God have pity on his soul.

Also I think a complete list of the people who are not pants on head retarded by server would be miles shorter than any gimp/wtf thread for this game

[miokomioko]

Speaking of, has there been any word on what they plan to do with undergarments to make them have any use besides HQing a Lv.20 set for the laughable DEF and then proceeding to forget about them forever? I noticed they decided to keep them in the ARR screenshots...

[Lordender]

What did people make for weaver from 21-30? I was making some dated gloves but god, the exp is terrible.

[Raldo]

I started making Linen Yarn / Undyed Linen as soon as I hit 22/23, though as a Botanist, I had more Flax than I knew what to do with. I had a bunch of cross-craft abilities to use, so the 10-level gap wasn't daunting. Prior to that, I made Dew Thread / Undyed Velveteen.

[Teron]

What do you think, is it worth buying gear now? Or should I wait til after 2.0?

What did people make for weaver from 21-30? I was making some dated gloves but god, the exp is terrible.

Weaver (25) - Dew Thread - Diremite Web x2, Lightning Shard x3

Weaver (32) - Linen Yarn - Flax x2, Lightning Shard x3

Weaver (40) - Woolen Yarn - Karakul Fleece x1, Fleece x2, Lightning Shard x4

Unless you're incredibly desperate to get a Garuda win, or are doing something like Ifrit - Extreme/White Raven on a regular basis until November, I would not sink gil into equipment at all.

At the moment, we don't really know what they are doing to the attribute algorithms and they have admitted that equipment value can potentially change a lot. Might as well just liquidate your currently valuable assets unless you actively use them.

[Thesuspect]

What does a typical Garuda BLM setup look like without relying on sanction gear?

[Hiroishime]

Minimum of 500 magic accuracy after songs and food, that is the first thing required to do this fight smoothly, after that as much INT on other slots.

[miokomioko]

You can do just fine with less than that. I would set the bar at 470.

[Thesuspect]

I was thinking more so actual gear/meld choices to setup for Garuda to get me there.

[Churchill]

Brand+1 w/double INT
Monocle or Circlet, double INT
Spruce Pattens w/20+MAB or AF Feet
Raptorskin Satchel belt w/-enmity
If no Militia Ringbands, or if you want, >80MCRIT Ringbands
Woolen Tights or Felt Gaskins with INT/PIE or INT/MND, depending on what kind of versatility you want out of the pants

[Thesuspect]

AF body is fine? I have Uldah officers but I hate to rely on sanction and thank you for the info.

[miokomioko]

Wizard's Coat or Ul'dahn Officer's Coat will do, but Militia Robe is superior (assuming no Sanction).

[Churchill]

AF body is fine? I have Uldah officers but I hate to rely on sanction and thank you for the info.

If you are Uldahn this conversation is silly. If you wipe, return to Inn, take port to flames right outside, get sanction, return to wherever you are. Dropping 40INT and 10INT/15MACC +set bonus with bracelets and/or shield (14INT) is pretty dumb.

Also, you asked for melds.

Depending on your target, Militia or Uldahn coat.

[Niiro]

It's not really a silly conversation when what you described isn't an option in instances, which is where everything relevant happens.

[solracht]

Except he's talking about Garuda, where it's a perfectly valid option.

[Churchill]

check

[Niiro]

You can cast raise/use tonics in Garuda, only applies if you consider any death a forfeit (not necessarily unreasonable).
